Overview

In a world where self-care trends are constantly evolving, two stars— Mel B and Sabrina Carpenter —are shining a spotlight on one of the hottest wellness practices: Infrared sauna.

Mel B, known worldwide as Scary Spice from the iconic Spice Girls, continues to captivate audiences with her bold personality and fearless approach to life, while Sabrina Carpenter, a rising pop sensation and actress, has earned admiration for her relatable charm and growing influence on younger audiences. Both women have carved their unique paths in the entertainment industry, earning not just fans but genuine admiration for their individuality and authenticity.

It’s no surprise, then, that when they share glimpses into their personal wellness journeys, we can’t help but take notice. These stars remind us that wellness isn’t just a fleeting trend—it’s a meaningful investment in ourselves.
While their approaches might differ in scale and style, the core message remains universal. In this article, we’ll dive into what we’ve noticed about their self-care routines and share how you, too, can embrace infrared sauna in your own life—no spotlight required.

Sabrina Carpenter’s Cozy At-Home Setup

Meanwhile, pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter offered her fans a more relatable glimpse into her wellness routine. Taking to Instagram, Sabrina shared a photo of herself tucked into an at-home infrared sauna—a cozy, compact space that looked more like a snug wooden box than a luxury spa room. Her casual yet intentional approach highlighted an important message: wellness isn’t about grandeur, it’s about consistency.

Taking to Instagram, Sabrina shared a candid moment of self-care, relaxing in a cozy, at-home infrared sauna. This snug wooden retreat—far from the opulence of luxury spa rooms—showcases how accessible wellness has become.

Her caption hinted at her excitement:

“I’m a very grateful girl and counting down the days (15 to be exact) until short n’ sweet!! Thank you for the 6 @vmas nominations 💋💋🫨 thank you for a billion streams on me espresso thank you @variety for having me as your cover girl.”

Tagging @sunhomesaunas, Sabrina gave a subtle nod to her infrared sauna experience. It’s no surprise her fans, including Solawave, chimed in with love, calling her their “red light queen.” Take a closer look at Sabrina’s Solawave wand and how she used red light therapy for her flawless glow at the Met Gala in our detailed article on Sabrina Carpenter’s Met Gala Prep with Solawave.

The photo resonated with many fans, showing how even a small corner of your home can be transformed into a sanctuary for self-care. With portable and affordable infrared sauna setups available on the market, Sabrina proved that anyone can incorporate this trend into their lives.

Mel B’s Bold Wellness Statement

Spice Girls’ Mel B recently made headlines when she shared her deeply personal self-care moment: going completely naked during an infrared sauna session. The bold move wasn’t just about making a statement; it underscored the freedom, vulnerability, and relaxation that infrared sauna therapy can offer. Known for her fearless personality, Mel B used the session not only to detoxify her body but also to meditate in peace, emphasizing the mental and emotional benefits of this practice.

Her photos, capturing her raw and authentic self-care moment, sparked conversations not only about body positivity but also about how simple wellness habits can contribute to overall health.

Why Infrared Sauna Therapy Is Worth the Hype

Infrared saunas have become increasingly popular for their numerous health benefits. Unlike traditional saunas, infrared saunas use light to generate heat, penetrating deeper into the skin and tissues. This not only helps in detoxification but also improves circulation, reduces inflammation, and supports skin health.
While Mel B might choose a more luxurious spa setting and Sabrina Carpenter might keep it simple with an at-home setup, the core takeaway remains the same: this therapy is versatile, effective, and accessible.

Make It Your Own Wellness Ritual

You don’t need to go full celebrity mode to enjoy the benefits of infrared therapy. From portable sauna blankets to small wooden infrared sauna pods, there are options for every budget and space. Whether you’re aiming to relax after a long day, reduce chronic pain, or simply treat yourself to a wellness ritual, infrared saunas can fit seamlessly into your routine.

Mel B’s empowering naked session reminds us to embrace self-care boldly, while Sabrina Carpenter’s cozy corner setup shows us that wellness is something you can create in the comfort of your home. Both approaches send the same powerful message: prioritize yourself.

So, are you ready to glow from the inside out? Take inspiration from these stars and carve out your own space—big or small—for some infrared magic. Your body and mind will thank you.
